Last week at The Great Jungle Journey Family Church Camp, great things were happening as the kids drew near to Jesus and grew in the excitement of who God is.

Set in the hidden paradise beside the water at the cabin and land Ralph Carlson generously offered for the church camp, seventeen kids plus adults dug into the Bible, learned about the awesome power of God, experienced Jesus’s love in His sacrifice for them, and grew in worship and prayer together.

Laughter and friendship permeated the week as we hiked, kayaked, did skits, crafts, and games, and went on treasure hunts for memory verses.

The kids expressed excitement over earning their own Bibles and prizes, acting in the skits, filling their memory verse notebooks, and worship time.

It was good to see kids excited to read their Bibles and a group of them asked if they can volunteer next year. Camren has already begun making plans for next year’s theme and said, “Church camp was my favorite part of the summer!”

We want to thank everyone who gave their time, money, resources, and talents to make this summer’s church camp so sweet and most of all we want to thank God for His gift of forgiveness and freedom and life.
